Is there a list of standard asp functions you can call on different areas of your web page? I know the manual lists some important ones for example, to draw the categories. I'm just looking for a complete list.

I haven't bought the software yet, but it looks really impressive (especially V3!).

Well, if you're wanting 'standard asp functions'.. I'd refer you to this...

http://www.w3schools.com/vbscript/vbscript_ref_functions.asp

However, I don't think you're in the right line of thinking for this shopping cart... I mean, yea it has a few functions you can call to do what you want but it's not like it's an SDK (software development kit) for creating a shopping cart... the code that's already written is only there because the stock functionality requires it. If you're wanting to alter it much beyond the scope of what's shown on their demo shops, you're going to need to learn asp or higher a developer to do it.

Sorry, I should have rephrased "standard" to "ProductCart" ASP functions (code snippets) which draw various parts of the pages, such as "Bestsellers", "New Items", etc. We're in the process of securing hosting and have not actually installed the software yet but we wanted to get a start on the design.

Well, the answer is still no - there is no itemized list of 'snippets' that I know of. If you have the software already, but not installed, try browsing around in the source code to answer your questions.

The "includes" folder contains a series of files that store functions used throughout the application. For example:

currenctyformatinc.asp
dateinc.asp
pcCategoriesList.asp
stringfunctions.asp
validation.asp

There are others. Over time we are consolidating functions into fewer files, which are then included in all applicable files. ProductCart contains hundreds of thousands of lines of code and several hundred ASP files. So this is not a process that can be accomplished overnight. In addition, structurally modifying existing files always opens up the door to the potential of introducing bugs, which is something that we do our best at trying to avoid at all times.
